On Wed, Nov 10, the PTA is organizing a meeting to discuss and share information relating to how Hunter students use the internet (for academics, social activities, communication and entertainment). We are looking for at least 6-8 student volunteers (grades 8-12) to demonstrate and share their views on how and where they and their peers navigate on the internet (Blackboard, Facebook, Skype are possibilites), and also to review what capabilities best serve their needs (ie., smartphones and their alternatives). Student volunteers would be asked to join a couple of parents for a preparatory meeting from 6-7 and then attend the PTA meeting from 7-8. A number of outside speakers are also being invited to follow on the students' discussion. If you're interested, please respond to June Yuson (jyusonho@hotmail.com).
